POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
A performance For The Gods
Nothing like
the moon on your skin
and the dirt against my back
as I pull you closer
to my kisses
Tasting the salt
of the sea
on your tanned skin
Seeing it
turbulent
reflected in your eyes
Our desires
are fiery
Within us
lies the lust
of the newborn Earth
I am insatiable
I am one
with the sirens of legend
My body shudders
ready to feel you
I tempt you
and you follow
I want to scream
with the fulfillment
of my fantasies
I want you to overwhelm me
overflowing...

For You
If I could paint a rose of love
I would paint it black or blue
For no one thing could poison me
the way in which you do
If I could open up my heart
and allow my love to shine
My heart will cease to beat again
until the day you're mine
It's you who swept me off my feet
and taught me how to fly
So I will fight for you and nothing more
Until the day I die
I would paint it black or blue
For no one thing could poison me
the way in which you do
If I could open up my heart
and allow my love to shine
My heart will cease to beat again
until the day you're mine
It's you who swept me off my feet
and taught me how to fly
So I will fight for you and nothing more
Until the day I die

Small Pleasures
Your blood sprayed all across my face
It took me hours to clean this place
Soap didn't work so I used lime
and bleach cleaned up the kitchen fine
I scrubbed the steps, painted the wall
and underneath the floorboards crawl
and dragged your fat ass
as you distend and rupture gas
I'll hide the stench with caustic lye
I'll watch it melt away your eye
and under my small garden plot
throughout each night you'll start to rot
No evidence will be around
Your body will never be found
and to this end I'll make a start
I won't get...

Hollow
Im hollow, so hollow
i'm carved out inside
This sorrow, sweet sorrow
has shattered the light
I'm dreaming, but dreaming
erases the pain
My true lord and master
implores me to stay
The burning, the burning
consumes what I saw
We're twisting and turning
He's bleeding me raw
The fire, soft fire
Destroys with a spark
His passion is crimson
His touch is so dark
I'm weary, so weary
I'm drunken and glazed
The strongest of dogs
has taught me his ways
Speak gently, so gently
The fire is...

The Soldier
Crying, tired, broken, nervous
They say "thank you for your service"
Marching onward into Hell
Would you still thank him if he fell?
His nerves are shot, his soul is old
How long will his madness hold?
Still so young, but he feels older
In the end, Gods broken soldier
The cadence keeps a steady beat
while he's dying on his feet
Left, right, left until you drop
someone makes the marching stop
His eyes are heavy as shots are fired
for all he's done, he's so tired
But even after he's done his best
Gods broken...

Anniversary
How long has it been since the planets aligned
and the sky fell down just right?
Lives all around forever changed and shattered
but I was safe that night
Lets embrace our small existance
And watch Earth slowly set and disappear
Hold me like you did that night
as eternity grows near
Oh the beauty of never ending forever
cascading and falling above
Planets align again once more
in our anniversary of love
and the sky fell down just right?
Lives all around forever changed and shattered
but I was safe that night
Lets embrace our small existance
And watch Earth slowly set and disappear
Hold me like you did that night
as eternity grows near
Oh the beauty of never ending forever
cascading and falling above
Planets align again once more
in our anniversary of love
